A Song:
I'm not a huge fan of The Fray, but I'm really enjoying this song today.

A Fact:
You know how the Greek language has several different words for love? Well, in the Bible in John Chapter 21, the whole meaning of the conversation God has with John is lost in translation. The original translation mentions two loves: agape, a deep godly love, and phileo, more of an affectionate love.


"When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?'

   'Yes, Lord,' he said, 'you know that I love you.'

   Jesus said, 'Feed my lambs.'

 ¹⁶ Again Jesus said, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?'

   He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.'

   Jesus said, 'Take care of my sheep.'

 ¹⁷ The third time he said to him, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?'

   Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, 'Do you love me?' He said, 'Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.' "

In verse 15, Jesus asked if Peter agape'd him. Peter said he phileo'd him. 

In verse 16, Jesus asked if Peter agape'd him. Peter said he phileo'd him.

In verse 17, Jesus asked if Peter phileo'd him. Peter said he phileo'd him, and broke down. 

A Happy:

My phone is officially recovered from a swim in the toilet last night.

A Stress:

Two more weeks till summer.

Coherent

So here's what happened. Contrary to former belief, there was no influence involved in my "blog" last night. Quite the contrary. It was the influence of a sleepy girl who had just squeezed into a twin bed with her sister when she remembered she didn't blog. Well, folks, I didn't come this far to give up at that moment! So I decided to blog from my phone. Except blogger literally wouldn't let me type anywhere but the title. Therefore, I told you that via the title. Except when I pressed published, I realized everything was misspelled.

I thought about fixing it for a split second.

But that thought didn't last long.

Anyway, like I said... my sister was over, and we went to a band concert of some of her good friends. And we had delicious pulled pork and tots. And froyo at midnight. AT WHICH I parallel parked. In Chicago. For the first time. This is how badly I was craving froyo. The other Alyson came as well, and well... whenever it's time to go out, this simultaneously coincides everyone raid my closet time. So, we all went out as... me. I've gotten much better at taking about 2 minutes to decide what to wear. Two simple steps: 1. Which skirt and 2. What top is clean/weather appropriate/at least semi matches. Matching is not a requirement, however.

Anyway, there was my evening. Um... 

Oh, this happened while my roomie and I were playing Pottermore. I was a little behind her, and there was a point where I got to this...

... and squealed. Jeananne laughed. I said, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME OLIVER WAS GOING TO MEET ME?!" She said because she wanted me to be able to discover it myself and hear just that reaction. Oh Oliver, you can meet me anyday.

So that happened. Hmm...

OKAY. Church tomorrow! Car wash tomorrow! Target tomorrow! Sleep well. Thanks for reading. :]

i literally canbit type in rhus blog. it doedmt work.

WEH.

"Jeananne, I don't think I'm going to blog today."
"NO! What does BEDA stand for?"
"Blog mummble mummble in April..."
"Whaat?"
"Blog evryegbsmdy in April..."
"COME HERE AND WRITE YOUR BLOG."
"FINE!"


Hello, kids.

Today I played on Pottermore for a few hours, wore a Harry Potter shirt, and watched Deathly Hallows part two.

Yesterday I deactivated my Facebook to be less distracted.

Oops.

Speaking of, add me on Pottermore. I'm a proud Ravenclaw and MistThestral108. Let's duel each other. Whabam.


In other news, I kind of really enjoy theological type books like those of C.S. Lewis, Donald Miller, Oswald Chambers, etc... and I'm reading one right now called A Severe Mercy about a couple who was friends with C.S. Lewis and I cannot put it down.

Doobeedoo.


This is what made me laugh today:

Harry has a really awkward body twitch going on and trying to be smooth or something, and Niall is like running with unicorns. I couldn't stop laughing. 

Tomorrow. I'll love ya. Tomorrow is only... one minute aawwwayyy.

A Vlog Blog

In which Alyson references last year's vlog: Vlog 2011

Hope you had a good day! :]

I Love You.

I would love this as a print in my room, and I would love if 

Downton Abbey would start its next season. Okay, thank you. :]

Today was a great day. I don't even have any specific reason why. It just was.

Things were just falling into place. And I'm finally to the point where I have relationships to look forward to at work and school, instead of braving everything on my own and hoping I don't have too many awkward encounters.  (Although, today, I definitely did have one. I hate being good with remembering people when they aren't with you. Bah. Awkward.)

Projects are taking shape, Dublin is settling in, McDonald's sweet tea is always faithful, trains do come right on time some days, asparagus is delicious, sales kick butt, Dunkin Doughnuts does get your coffee right sometimes,  bloggers are awesome, laughing all day at work is delightful, collaborating with other designers is always helpful, and your favorite player wins games for your boys sometimes.

Life is good. Things are good. I am happy.

I Don't Feel Like Blogging.

Lucky for me, a picture is worth a thousand words.
